CHICAGO, May 23, 2023 ~ The 26th annual Sweets & Snacks Expo opened this morning at McCormick Place in Chicago, offering attendees the opportunity to explore the latest confectionery and snack innovations, gain insights from industry experts, and make meaningful connections with thousands of professionals.
John Downs, president and CEO of the National Confectioners Association and Sweets & Snacks Expo host organization, noted that this year marks an important milestone for the show as it is its final year in Chicago.
"For more than 25 years, we have worked in collaboration with the city of Chicago to build and host the world's premier candy and snack show," said Downs.
